Please change the venue for next year...!

I don't know how many people will agree with me, but I'm casting my vote that KumoriCon NOT be held at the Hilton again next year. Attendance is likely to grow, and it'll simply be too crowded. Elevator lines were ridiculous, and nearly all public areas were suffocatingly stuffed. I don't know the Portland area so I can't suggest a better location...but that's my two cents. Please think of me and all the other claustrophobic people! )=

Too late. Should have suggested that at the 2008 Rant and Rave.

Just to be clear, we do have a 2-year contract which obligates us to hold Kumoricon 2010 there from September 4-6.

There are multiple threads talking about this issue already:

2011+ -- NON-CONVENTION Options (Multi-Hotel cluster near/around a park)
You guys think Kumoricon will be at the Hilton next year?
Kumoricon 2010 Attendance
Future locations for the convention?

Both the Kumoricon staff and the Hilton staff and managers are strongly working toward making this work for us next year:
